Overview
- Marco Bezzecchi won the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello on Sunday to lead an Aprilia 1-2 and stretch his championship advantage to 17 points over team-mate Jorge Martin.
- Jorge Martin finished second, 3.5 seconds behind Bezzecchi, and praised his team-mate while saying he will focus on daily training and recovery rather than thinking about the title right now.
- Aprilia CEO Massimo Rivola said Bezzecchi has shown he can deliver under big pressure but warned the true test will come when the championship fight tightens.
- Technical staff credited detailed set-up work for Aprilia’s turnaround from a weak Friday to dominant sprint and grand prix results, and engineers say the RS-GP is being tuned to be competitive across different circuits.
- With 15 races left and 555 points still available the standings remain fluid, so the next rounds will reveal whether Bezzecchi can sustain form or Martin’s experience will swing the title battle.
